competitive ...
for competition's sake.
they see the primary as a game, and not as what it is meant to be -- an election. an election where people's votes represent people's voice, needs, hopes and aspirations. why else do we have an election if not to have people's votes count? this isn't a vote collection game. the votes aren't just points, the votes mean something deeper. the franchise is what makes our country great. it is what our democracy is about. when they say FL and MI shouldn't count because republican party leaders committed a mistake with the rules, they are disenfranchising people's voice. when they say that we should end the race now because the 'math' is difficult is denying the rest of the millions of voters a say. their distortion that the math is impossible is subordinating the people's will to their decisions for the nominee. the fact is, neither candidate has the delegates to win the nomination now and until all the delegates are accounted for, no one should claim victory.
obama's campaign and his supporter's operations are greek tragedies waiting to happen. they are completely out of touch when they look all smug and showing off their intellectual superiority about the math of the delegate count. the hubris of it all! the way the party elites thumbing their noses at the other half of the democratic party, (the core base of democrats no less), is tragic.
obama supporters are myopic about winning. they see the world as they want it, and not as it is, nor how other people may see it. this is why even if they win the battle, they will lose the war.

race baiters.
i have these words for obama supporters.
STOP IT !
STOP IT !
IT'S ENOUGH ALREADY!
STOP LABELING EVERY NON-OBAMA SUPPORTER A RACIST. IF YOU KEEP CALLING HILLARY SUPPORTERS RACISTS, YOU ARE JUST MAKING IT WORSE, NOT BETTER. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET HILLARY SUPPORTERS TO SUPPORT OBAMA, CALLING THEM RACISTS DOES NOT HELP.
IT DOESN'T MAKE THEM FEEL GUILTY ANYMORE. IT MAKES THEM ANGRY BECAUSE THEY HATE BEING CALLED RACISTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHEN THEY ARE NOT!!!
YOUR CANDIDATE IS NOT PERFECT, AND THERE IS A BETTER CANDIDATE OUT THERE WHO IS BETTER PREPARED AND BEST QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB.
STOP BLAMING OBAMA'S FAILURES FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO INSPIRE THE OTHER HALF OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ON RACISM.
THE TRUTH IS THAT OBAMA IS UNPREPARED, HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN SOME WORK EXPERIENCE AND WORK HARDER TO EARN THE JOB LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
HE IS TO BLAME FOR HIS OWN SHORTCOMINGS. NOT OTHERS. STOP GIVING HIM A FREE PASS. THIS IS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION GONE AWRY. THIS IS LOOKING LIKE REVERSE DISCRIMINATION.
